Take a deep breath. Calm yourself.

This works because the ":" used in embedded SQL is gone before the C++ compiler sees it. Pro*C is a PRECOMPILER. You pass the source file to Pro*C before you pass it to C++.

So in your C++ code, you use C++ syntax and characters, in your SQL code you use Embedded SQL syntax and characters. The two languages are separated by EXEC SQL statements. The precompiler converts the SQL to C variables and function calls. Then the combined code goes to the compiler.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reading of the Oracle Manuals.
